Um mine would be Secret Message only because I watch it solely for T.O.P. and his singing. Like if you asked me to describe the drama all I could say is its a Line ad where TOP sings. There might be more to it, but I can't say. I love it tho. Home sick today so probably gonna re-watch right now!

I only have a few dramas that I re-watched, even though there are many that I want to re-watch, but who has time when there are new ones keep coming. The drama I watched more than once is IYSS, Heo Joon (original), Dae Jang-geum, DaMo (third time for these was as good as the first time). And recent ones were You from another star, and Sly and Single again (they were not so good second time tho)

Mine is My Princes. I know that it's a medicore drama but I want to watch it over and over and cannot explain why?

Mine is Love Rain, I've re-watched it 3 to 4 times, each time I thought I would only re-watch snippets of it but ended up watching episode after episode. I'm not a die-hard fan of JGS, I did not remember anything much about Pretty Man, and did not even watch Jackpot, but I love the way he acted and carried himself in this drama. Probably it is also due to Love Rain's director Yoon Seok-ho and screen writer screenwriter Oh Soo-yeon, I also loved their Endless Love series from a decade ago (i.e. Winter Love Song and Autumn in My Heart).

I keep rewatching master's sun eventhough I'm a scaredy cat ? Don't know, it never gets me bored, eventhough the storyline is pretty simple and sometimes frustrating for me. I automatically play it while have nothing to watch.

I'm with Sancheezy, mine's totally Murphy's Law of Love. I just start grinning liking a maniac whenever they interact. If I had to choose a second, though, it would probably be the mini web series "Click Your Heart". Everything happens in fast forward and you choose who she ends up with?! Yeeeah, I watched all the endings. :)

I've watched Faith about 15 times (minus the boring parts). Sorry not sorry.

Itazura na kiss.. all possible versions..

Despite the hyper annoying lead.. I am surprised everytime why or how as series progresses, kotoko grows on me..

And there is sthg about something :) .. that makes me hyper interested every single time

I'm probably the only one on the planet but Heirs is my guilty pleasure .... I have no idea why I rewatch it...definitely must be all the pretty lol

One of my guilty pleasures is also a Taiwanese drama- Perfect Odd Match. Godfrey Gao looks gorgeous even when mostly slouching around with a morose expression. The plot is messy and the production values low, but it still managed to wring a good amount of tears.

I love DWL too for some reason! I live plucky Ella, and Jerry Yan's non-stalker acting fits his character. That drama always makes me smile. I also watch The Rose constantly and I have a hard time just explaining the plot to other people let alone why I love it so much. Ella, Joe Chen, and pretty much everyone else is really good. That drama reminds me of an onion where I seem to find another layer of things to ponder no matter how many times I watch it. I also need to give Oh! My Lady an honorable mention as it has my favorite plucky main character, comedy, and eye candy! Who needs a compelling plot? ?

I really like this question! Michykdrama, I especially love your phrase "And when people ask for drama recommendations, you don't really want to bring it up..." ooof, I have so many of those, the shows that require so many qualifiers along with the reccomendations so that people don't think you've lost your mind.

My guilty multi-watch love is SNOW QUEEN. Hyun Bin beautiful and young, Sung Yuri doing a good job for the first time, Im Joo Hwan being his cool self, Yoo In Young in her first role - swoony, melo, tear jerking, even funny with a fantastic OST.

Hey Michykdrama! I'm always late to OT but maybe you could pose this question another time: what drama do we love and just not understand why nobody else gets it? ?SNOW QUEEN totally falls in that category for me.

I know lots of people here don't fancy these dramas but they were my favorites last year, even with all its flaws:

- You're all surrounded
- Girl who can see smells

Unfortunately I still can't bring myself to rewatch the later after the scandal.

Oh and Gossip Girl! (Chuck and Blair forever!)

Yes to crazy fans. I was a bit taken aback recently and realise certain actors/actresses have very passionate supporters and detractors. Put the 2 together and it's like a nuclear reaction.

I'm quite happy that the Beautiful Mind and BGS discussion here doesn't seem to have this problem.

Is General Hospital good? I usually don't watch medical dramas because usually I end up rolling my eyes at how unrealistic it is unless there is something else to keep my attention.

I became so insensitive about non-sense medical or legal dramas watching k-drama for so long. I just watch for Romance (well even though there are exceptions) - don't care whatever they claim to be.
And I laugh reading rabid fan girl remarks in DB - it actually give me something to be amused about.
Life is hard as it is, and I am here to get a break, so would not let things like that bothers me.

I definitely noticed it on Koalas Playground, though not so much on dramabeans. But the comments on the scandals lately were very, very heated to say the least!

Imo db is probably the most civil site out there compared to others about k-entertainment, it's just certain hallyu stars that attract the crazy fangirls and trolls (and I've learned to stay away from those comment sections) whereas on koala almost every article is tainted with them and commenters are overall a lot more insensitive and drop swear words straight away.

My favorite comment sections here are probably the ones involving SIG coz everybody is just positive and squealing and apparently he has no haters (on db at least hehe). :-D

Dear Lord most of the comments now at ockola's are downright infantile and vicious! Some are not even funny. I dropped out of certain Soompi threads because they were so very unpleasant!
I am glad DB is having some control over the comments section, for there seems to be a gradual influx of nasty comments!

But honestly, what has happened to sensible, rational behaviour? Etiquette is not something you only follow in formal dinners, afternoon tea parties or business gatherings-it also should be followed in this new-age cyberspace-should it not (or am I being an old fogie)?

As for the troll and rabids, I leave them be and laugh at my screen.

I was thinking he must be developing some sort of emotions. He apparently does have some if he needs approval. My thinking is that he may be slightly misdiagnosed or he may just not feel things as deeply.

I enjoyed BBJX. I got used to that hairstyle. Hope you like it in the end. I agree with you on Dear My friends (great drama) and Doctors. I also feel Kim Rae-won looks awkward doing some cheesy scenes.
And I will miss Gongshim also -they were such a cute couple. Namgoong Min was not joking when he said he could change his image through his next project in the interview after Smelly girl (lol).

Ooh now I'm wanting to check out that J movie you mentioned.
A movie is perfect to spend my time while I wait for the next episodes of BGS which are coming soon!
Oh btw I think there are another 4 episodes of BGS so that's 2 weekends more (this weekend and the next) of happy DT/GS shenanigans! ?

I marathoned the first six episodes of Doctors this week and I'm having the same problem. I think I read that this show was supposed to be a thoughtful, character driven drama, but the writing is not giving off that impression. I don't understand the characters and, worse than that, I don't believe them. I realizing while writing this comment that I haven't even bothered to remember their names yet.

KRW's cheerfulness reads false for some reason. I don't understand PSH's character development or her personality at all really. She's a gangster the first episode, but one incident and her personality does a total 180. And Baek In-ha's (sorry, I can't remember her real name) motivations are basically nonexistent for me. She's just cruel and delusional.

On top of that, I find the background music distracting.

I am. Even I don't know why. The plot is really not my cup of tea. What's with terminal illness, birth secret, poor with neverending debt female lead, corrupt prosecutor and all. I used to avoid melo at all costs, but here I am, have watched 1st and 2nd ep and still want to stick around for next week. I don't know if I will go through till the end or drop it midway though.

I am liking it..

CInematography is good
it seems story wise it is a decent melo..

I hope directing delivers..
Acting is not an hindrance (suzy was in e1 but not in ep2 so hoping she won't be an issue.. KWB is also decent..not a fine wine..but decent)

Actually in midst of all thrillers and romcoms, this is the only melo i find..infact since 2013 this is the only one i have noticed..so excited..

What i really find interesting is.. on most of the days.. within the same time slot/or the dramas on watchlist.. are so distinguished and different from each other in terms of genre, story, treatment.. that its a creative paradise and artistic treat for the eyes..

Hope this doesn't discourage certain genres because of low ratings (rom com will always prevail)

I'm finding Uncontrollably drawn to this drama and wanting to watch more after checking the 1st 2 episodes, though I had zero expectation before I start watching. Neither the leads were my favorite nor the writer, but I just found this drama to be classicly very gloomy, and just very interesting.

Just... thank you. Thank you YY.

About their partners, Suzy said "I felt awkward at first. He/KWB prepared harder than anyone and act thoroughly, and watching him like that I thought he has many things to learn from. He was very considerate on the set. and I liked it because he made me feel at ease working together." Kim Woo-bin said "Suzy ssi has unique bright energy. Actually she was more considerate. On her shooting days, staffs and I were also smiling. She is an actress who has so much to give, and who can do deep acting so I learned a lot."
In previous work 'Heirs', Kim had crush over female lead, and in 'School-2013', he showed bromance with Lee Jong-suk. "When I was acting one-sided love, I had mindset I was shooting a melo even though it was just me. Finally I was able to show the melo here, so personally I was very excited. And even more so because that person was Suzy."

Also about each other's dates Sin Min-ah and Lee Min-ho, Kim said "Whenever there was a new teaser, she/SMA cheered me on. She has high expectation about drama too. I know Lee Min-ho ssi also and he cheers for us." About MBC's W where his BF Lee Jong-suk plays and probably competes for ratings, "I contact Jong-suk often, I even did texting this morning. I said I was going to the press conference and very nervous. Jong-suk said their drama-shooting was going well. He said jokingly 'W production team is shouting for 'Beat Uncontrollably Fond!'. I feel very honored to have a friend playing in the same time slot because it does not happen often, and we are cheering each other on."

Second leads are Im Joo-hwan(Oh my ghostess) and Im Joo-eun (Heirs). About Choi Ji-tae character he plays, IJH said, "The viewers might think him as the third wheel for Kim Woo-bin and Suzy character, but it is his way of showing love. My role is how to express that well." About Yoon Jung-eun character IJE plays, she said "Because there were situations and emotions when two characters met, I had some difficulty expressing it. Jung-eun is person who is thirst for love, so I try to be true to that feeling. I hope the viewers watch her personality, rather than her being annoying by getting in the way for leads' romance.
